I'm well aware of the subscriber agreement and that they reserve the right, as will most any service in their agreement, to terminate usage of it. Have you ever played a MMO? Same thing. They reserve the right to stop offering their game at any moment at their own will. Man those guys sure have a god complex. To think they could stop doing something that they are offering in the first place. It's insane.

And I have no clue if you have more games than me. It's quite possible as I've only just broken the 400 mark and there's people with easily over a 1000. Doesn't make your opinion any more valid or invalid however so it's kind of besides the point ...

@Fred
One of safest option? What happen if they ban my account?

My point exactly , but people doesn't seem to get the real point here....

Hey don't get me wrong. You have every right to say what you want on the matter, and if you feel that way feel free to do it ^^ It's just that in MMO forums especially it's not uncommon to see perfectly valid, yet unpopular, arguments get buried by people who start to slander the person making the argument, and completely skipping the argument as a result. But like I said, it's fine for you to do it. But I have the right to point it out ^^

Now you're starting to sound like Glenn Beck... "I have a question. What is Fred actually doing here? He just keeps defending Steam and complaining about GOG. He appears to be a paidsteamshill. Or is he? Let's ask these questions!"

Excuse me? How is that different? WoW shuts down tomorrow. No more game. The game you bought.

Isn't that the point here? It's essentially the same thing, except you're not paying monthly for it. And yes, they also close accounts 'at their whims', except just like Steam, they practically never do unless there's a good reason to.

And no, just because I'm not !!!!!!'ing like you, does not mean it 'seems unable to sink in'. It just means that I know exactly what I'm dealing with, and it doesn't make me go all !!!!!!!!

Yeah ! , except that you are so completely in denial (or void) of the fact that we could be talking about a substantial amount of money invested at Steam if one have many games....
And apparantly you haven't heard about the people at Steam that have had more or les simple misundersatndings there and had to beg to get their account back and then be told that next time they wouldn't get it back at all...

You can go on all day but it does not remove that facts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY -- STEAM AND THE SOFTWARE.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH VALVE WITH REGARD TO STEAM OR THE SOFTWARE IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF STEAM AND CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT.


[You do really have no rights other than to agree with them , that is what they actually writes....] - [no room for any disagreements or disputes at Steam - if so one can just gets ones account closed and f**k off]

These posts are starting to give me deja vu.

Anyhow, Legend of Grimrock looks pretty good. I'll wait until it's out before I decide whether or not to buy it though.

Chill out, mate. Everyone here knows that, Pheace included. And even though you might find this hard to believe, there are people who know it and are still cool with it.

And quite frankly, I don't think anyone could be possibly convinced by any argument followed by more than one exclamation mark.

(Also, if Steam makes you go all !!!!!, why on Earth would you have so many games there? Isn't that rather contradictory behaviour? I'm not trying to flame here, I genuinely find it strange.)

I've seen plenty of these sob stories and at least half of the time it gets proven in the thread that they were actually doing things that deserved it, and almost 100% of the time you only hear *their* side of the story.

And nowhere does your remedy thing state that it allows no room for disagreement or disputes on Steam. It basically just states that in the end, their word is final. It doesn't mean they don't hear disputes or act on them. There's payment disputes and all sorts of things on a daily basis and a lot of them simply get handled.

But, to be fair, i have no clue what other 'remedy's' one could bring in to a dispute. I assume they mean lawsuits and the like. My first thought was that you have no right to chargeback your money in a dispute and keep using the service for instance. That would seem to be the most direct use of it, and I know there are people that disagree with that. Then again a lot of people do that before even disputing anything with Steam, and I do believe they should do that before doing a chargeback.

OKeeyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I am DEFENITELY NOT "cool with it" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you ofcourse always blame/shame people every time that they in hindsight (which is always 20/20) went down a path that they afterwards regret that they did go?????????????????????????

And by the way , had you read that particular previous post then you might have seen that I originally had Steam force-fed with a DVD game that I had bought.. Which is why I sort of resignated a period ..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can talk all about your f**king fairness all you f**king want because there is NOTHING FAIR about the Steam subscriber agreement/ ... (I'll add some exclamation points for the benefit of "bazilisek")!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not blaming you at all -- I quite honestly don't think there's anything wrong with having a large Steam library. But don't you think the picture you're painting here is rather peculiar? Because of a single Steamworks-required retail title, you were hypnotised into a monstrous Steam binge which made you purchase a thousand games until you finally saw the error of your ways? If that's true, please for your own sake go see a psychiatrist, because you have some major issues.

I can't help but think I'm getting trolled here.

No you are the TROLL "pal" with your personal suggestions about going to a psychiatrist.
And while at being personal then you *really* must be a moron not to understand this....
As long as you do not have a lot of games at Steam then there is not much to worry about is there !!!???? And when you finally gets a lot of games at Steam then is the time that you starts to worry because at that point one gots that much more to loose haven't one (!!!!!!?????)
And With respect to Steam then I recently had a personal experience at Steam (that I do nort wish to share or discuss here) making me aware of their "God complex" why is that I finally switched into the mode I'm in now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with seeing a psychiatrist, that's one thing. And no, I'm not trying to insult you. It's just that the style and content of your posts sounds excessively emotional and, if I have to put it bluntly, unhinged. Which does not help your case at all, and I honestly don't think it's good for you, either.

Not trying to insult me ? - talk is cheap "pal".....

unhinged ???? - with you guys on my back ? - well - if you get off by keeping this up then by all means like I really freakin' care what you , or anyone else , thinks when it comes down to that ....

My case ? ..... I haven't even started yet....


And suddenly I am supposed to think that you "care for my well being"..... (quote : and I honestly don't think it's good for you, either. )
